ORANGE FLESHED VARIETIES 
, ~ A very early, yellow fleshed melon of small to medium size. One of the very best for the home garden.

verv slightly netted. Skin deep green while young, becoming slightly tingeu with yellow as the fruit matures. Flesh is deep 
salmon-yellow, t hick, ripening close to the rind, juicy, melting and very highly flavored. For home use and near-by markets 
it leads all other kinds on account of its sweetness and convenient size. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Va Lb. 60c.

Extra Early Osage 'e k 
earlier than the Osage, fruits a 
little smaller, more nearly round 
and the netting extends over more 
of the surface. These very desir¬ 
able features, combined with the 
thick, deep salmon colored flesh 
and small seed cavity characteristic 
of the Osage, make this melon de¬ 
serving of a place in every home 
and market garden. Pkt. 5c; 
Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Va Lb. 60c. 
_ , A yellow fleshed 
PetOSkey or sort of suitable 
D ACft size for a crate melon 
raul KOS0 and of excellent 
quality. The vines are vigorous and 
productive. The fruits are oval, 
slightly ribbed and densely netted. 
In general appearance they are Defender 
much like Netted Gem but larger. 
The flesh is orange-yellow, very thick, firm, sweet and highly

fender and possessing the characteristic netting, shape, size 
and shipping quality of Netted Gem or Rocky Ford. Com¬ 
bining all the good qualities of these two fine varieties we 
believe the Admiral Togo is an ideal table melon. Our stock 
is carefully bred in size and shape, is densely netted, with 
very thick flesh, ripening clear to the skin, we believe the 
seed we offer will meet the demands of the most discrimi¬ 
nating buyers. We consider it the best small shipping melon 
yet introduced. (See cut and, further description in Supple¬ 
ment , page 8). Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. 60c. 
and of the very finest quality. The vines are vigorous, re¬ 
markably blight resisting and very productive. The fruits 
are uniformly of medium size. The netting is exceptionally 
fine and dense, extending over practically the entire surface. 
The rind is thin yet very firm, so that the melons arrive in 
perfect condition in distant markets. The flesh is very thick, 
firm, highly colored, of fine texture and delicious flavor.

j This is one of the best yellow fleshed sorts and 
Uerenaer in some respects is far superior to any of this 
class. The fruit is medium sized, oval in shape, slightly 
ribbed, covered with gray netting. The flesh is firm, fine 
grained, rich, deep yellow, darker than that of the Osage and 
of higher flavor. The flesh extends to the rind and retains 
its color and quality quite to the outer 
shell which, though thin, is very hard 
and firm so that one can remove the edible 
portion with a spoon, leaving a rind no 
thicker than that of an orange. Vines 
are vigorous and very productive. The 
fruit because of the hard, firm rind, keeps 
and bears shipment remarkably well. 
This splendid variety was originated and 
introduced by us in 1901 and we have 
taken pride in maintaining our stocks in 
the highest state of purity and excellence. 
\Ve believe it to be identical with the 
melon introduced seven years ago and 
sold largely as Burrell’s Gem. Pkt. 5c;

A medium to large sized, 
OP salmon fleshed melon of ex- 
Miller’s Cream cellent quality. The 
miller » uicaiu vines are vigorous 
and productive. The fruits are oval, dark 
green in color, slightly ribbed and partly 
covered with shallow gray netting. The 
flesh is salmon colored, thick, fine grained 
and highly flavored. A favorite variety 
for the later markets, as there is always 
a considerable demand for it from the 
restaurants and hotels, where its ex¬ 
cellent qualities are highly appreciated. 
We have taken a great deal of pains to 
develop the thick, deep, rich colored and 
finely flavored flesh of this sort, And 
careful comparisons on our trial grounds 
prove it to be unequalled, even by 
“special selected seed” offered at very 
high prices. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c;
